The 5000V (Blackford-VS) MCH chipset is designed for symmetric multiprocessing across two independent front side bus interfaces. Each front side bus uses a 64-bit wide, 1333 MHz data bus that transfers data at 10.7 GB/sec. The MCH chipset con-nects up to six Fully Buffered DIMM modules, providing a total memory bandwidth of up to 17.0 GB/s. The MCH chipset also provides one x8 PCI-Express and one x4 ESI interfaces to the ESB2. In addition, the 5000V (Blackford-VS) chipset offers a wide range of RAS features, including memory interface ECC, x4/x8 Single Device Data Correction, CRC, parity protection, memory mirroring and memory sparing. |
